Map view

Use the map view in Diarly to explore journal entries that include location data. Locations can be added manually, from photos, or using a slash command.

What you see in the map view

• Entries on the map: Pins show entries with added locations.
• Edit location: Tap or click the location name in an entry, then select Edit.

Adding a location

You can add a location while writing in the editor using the slash command:

• Type /location to choose a place.
• Use Insert current location to add your position (make sure location access is allowed in Privacy settings).

Other ways to add a location

• From a photo: If you insert a photo with GPS data (e.g. from iPhone), Diarly will automatically add the location. You can disable this in settings.
• From Google Maps: Copy a location link and paste it into your entry to include the place.

Open the map view

• On iPad and Mac: Click the Map icon in the sidebar.
• On iPhone: Swipe right to All view and tap the Map tab.
